As for Explosions, they were brilliant. Itās quite a new experience (for me, at least) to go to a gig and here a few words at the start
āHi, weāre from Texas. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to play such an incredible venueā.
And then not a single word for their hour and a half set.
I started a more in depth review, itās something I feel I want to write. But thereās a lot there, they are a band of significant personal importance. I drafted something, and it got too long, and personal. Itād be boring for anyone else to read.
So, just that it was an intensely emotional experience, and thoroughly enjoyable at that.
Wow, that sounds like a special night KRG. It wouldnāt bore me if you posted your review, but Iād understand if it was too personal.
'slowlane Iām very jealous. Saw them on the last tour in London which was stunning. The brass section is amazing live. By the way, that pic needs to go on Intinikiās gig photos thread. Also can I have Sueās number (asking for a friend).
OK I shall give it a crack. Itāll have to wait til next week, off to Berlin on a stag as we speak - so this may be dependent on me coming back in one piece.
This month, Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse, Dave Gorman for some laughs, and end with Common People in Southampton. Looking forward to seeing Duran Duran who I had posters of as a child (I was probably about 8 or 9 years old). Also going to the theatre! To see the Maids. Vod from Fresh Meat and Crazy eyes from Orange is the New Black along with Lady Edith from Downton are in the play. I probably should learn their real names.
Saw Lee Nelson, suited and booted at Dorchester Arts centre/corn exchange last Friday. The guy is such a quick wit. Most of the show was interaction with the small audience. A few predictable jokes thrown in, but most of it was fairly off the cuff stuff. Would definitely go see again as highly unlikely to see two shows the same using that format.
Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse last night was superb. Apart from a bloody pillar blocking my view for nearly all of the night. He did his old stuff, some new stuff and some Verve stuff. Definitely would go see again. His guitarist was fantastic.
So just to check. Would it be useful to have a comedy gig section? Do many others head to see comedians? I went to see Dave Gorman who showcased 4 other comedians who were all really good and thought maybe we could have a section to share some of our finds.
Do It i donāt often go to comedy but when i do i laugh my balls off, stand up is approx 10 times more funny when ur actually there for some reason rather than i.e. watch on TV so if you make gd suggests i might Make Effort to chk out tks
